We characterize the search landscape of random instances of the job shop scheduling problem (JSP). Specifically, we investigate how the expected values of (1) backbone size, (2) d...
We ask the question, "for minimizing mean response time (sojourn time), which is preferable: one fast server of speed 1, or k slow servers each of speed 1/k?" Our settin...

In this paper, we study the average case complexity of the Unique Games problem. We propose a natural semi-random model, in which a unique game instance is generated in several st...

We present a simple, original method to improve piecewise linear interpolation with uniform knots: We shift the sampling knots by a fixed amount, while enforcing the interpolation...
A snap-stabilizing protocol, starting from any configuration, always behaves according to its specification. In this paper, we are interested in message forwarding problem in a m...
